A solid guri lacquer plate of slightly lobed circular form, each lobe is carved to create a hollow, exposing the layers of lacquer. The many layers are composed of red, black and ochre, with sparse striations of yellow and green, the green pleasingly exposed in the well of the dish. It stands on a low foot and the underside shows small scattered carved hollows, creating a semblance of the texture of burlwood.
